Temperature And What Else Matters To Coffee

Coffee became my ambrosia when I went to night school for business. I worked a full-time corporate job while having two small children in day-care, a working wife and taking classes every night and weekend meant there was no way around being overworked. Since then I have made a minor hobby out of coffee consumption.

There are just a few components to coffee and together they create a surprising amount of variation to the flavor. They are:

Bean, Roast, Grind, Water, Temperature

And a few other things like pressure and method of prep which I’ll ignore here. Lifehacker talks about the importance of one of these, temperature.
